Turkish Airlines Boeing 737-900 TC-JYA tailstrike in Malaga, VIDEO

quoting the source:


The following interesting footage was filmed on Nov. 30, at Malaga airport.

It shows a Turkish Airlines Boeing 737-900 registration TC-JYA performing a bumpy landing with subsequent tailstrike and go around.

Although it’s almost impossible to determine the cause of the tailstrike, the aircraft seems to be quite fast on final approach. The low flare results in a bumpy landing. After the second touchdown the pilot holds the nose high to achieve some aerodynamic braking but the tail wheel touches the runway and the aircraft, because of the speed (or as a consequence of a wind gust) starts to climb again, forcing the pilot to perform a go around.

Well, isn't it about 4 years since their last/latest hull loss, so statistically one is imminent.

Looks to me like he pressed the go around button after the first bounce, then the a/c sank onto the runway again before engines spooled up, resultant power pitch coupled with a pilot pitch demand, pitched the nose up and the tail bumper (not tailwheel!) touched. Not a drastic problem, depends upon how hard the tail bumper touched, would be checked by engineering staff.

Tail wheel on the 737?

Nothing dramatic, just an interesting video.

Am I the only one NOT seeing the tail strike? Close, but still clear air there in my opinion.
